A fascinating aeroplane and remarkable. Considering it had creditable range, payload, twin engines and two crewmen it defies logic that the Lightning was developed in preference to a supersonic Javelin variant?

Thanks for highlighting a great aircraft but there are several inaccuracies or wrong information. The DHC-6 wasn't usually called "Dash 6" There were just 113 aircraft built, not 133. The flaps were not full-span but rather about 3/4. The Arkia plane shown as a -101 variant does not have a cargo door. Finally the Dash 7 was successful in doing for what it was built for but was not a real commercial success as the market DHC had envisioned for it did not really exist (contrary to your mention in the video when listing aircraft of similar size) wasn't big enough and cities failed to build the "urban STOLports" the DHC-7 was meant to use.

The Buccaneer was really effective because it could fly very close to water level at over 600 mph, which made interception difficult for the radars on Soviet warships at the time.

DC-10 was first to Market and tad bit more affordable. Thats it… thats the only good thing about that passenger killing POS. Lockheed Martin’s L-10-11 was superior in everything else. Better more reliable engines( TY rolls-Royce)..better passenger experience. Loved by the pilots. Even aesthetically looked better than the DC 10.

A splendid video. The little-mentioned SA227-CC often forgotten - only 5 were built, originally constructed at SA277-DC Metro 23's but modified (in reverse!) to be fitted with the slightly worse -11 engines of the Metro III. This due to either having trouble sourcing enough -12 engines as fitted to 23's or having leftover -11's still on hand.

Besides it's fantastic engines, the plane itself are a piece of sh....The wings cracked right under the landing gears, the avionics and electric systems were a nightmare to work, there was some places where only a pigmeo could fit to do maintenance...to mention a few things...

@@Tinoaviation Yes, wathing about Il-62 never gest boring for me. But about espionage in the sense of airplanes, I get very iritated, as I am a bit of a nerd in relation to airliners, and when i hear or read thet, Il-62 is VC-10 it is not nice, but far wores is to read that Tu-144 is Concorde, when in fact in some cases it was the other way around, plus in the same way as Il-62 and VC-10 - Tu-144 and Concorde were totally different, as the delta wing is simply the way to go if you want a supersonic plane. If you check Boeing 2707 or other less advanced studies about supersonic airliners (Douglas did one) you will see, all of those concepts were alike. And my ground argument was - Tu-144 flew first!

He is right. There was a plan to build them with turboprops. They even flew one. There are pictures of it out there. It's a shame they did not go with the turboprop engines. There would have been amazing aircraft that would have been in service much longer.

@@robertl606 At about 1:20 the narrator says, "Wright R-3350 turbo-prop engines" (perhaps he meant to say turbo-compound engines). The 3350 was an 18-cylinder, radial piston engine that used three power recover turbines which used exhaust gases to provide extra power to the engine's crankshaft via hydraulic couplings from the turbines. There indeed was a model of the Super Constellation that was powered by Pratt & Whitney T-34 turbo-prop engines. This was the Lockheed model 1249. Four were built for the U.S. Navy as the R7V-2 (two were later allocated to the USAF as the YC-121F). Curiously, the T-34 powered "Connies" didn't have the turbo-prop engines installed to improve the performance of the aircraft but just to merely test the engines themselves.
